How to import Word bibliography into Zotero

I succeeded!

First, download the JabRef which link is in the page that @Rintze provided.
After installed, import your Source.xml (if you don't know the link, just open you Word, go to References > Manage Sources > Click "Browse..." next to the "Source available in: Master list"
Then, select all of your references that has been imported using Ctrl+A, go to File > Save selected as plain BibTeX... in your directory. It will make a bib file that ready to import to Zotero
Finally, in your Zotero, go to File > Import, select the bib file you made before. There you go

There will be a slight of error, like jumble between fields. But after all it doesn't even matter

mpuebla - how did you get the jabref to read the xml file? I converted the word to xml - but jabref does not read it in.

Here it´s the program to download JabRef:

https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html

References archive from Microsoft Word it´s in:
C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Bibliography
The archive it´s in .xml format

In Jab Ref import Source.xml and export as plain BibTeX. The new file will be saved in .bib format

After, import the Source.bib with zotero.
